Quantum key distribution with finite resources: calculating the min-entropy

  • 1. Heinrich-Heine-Universitaet, Duesseldorf (Germany)

Description

The min-entropy is an important quantity in quantum key distribution. Recently, a connection between the min- entropy and the minimal-error discrimination problem was found. We use this connection to evaluate the min-entropy for different quantum key distribution setups.
